I definitely agree that they had portions of their memory (otherwise they wouldn't know 'anything' about their former lives - Mellie wouldn't have found resolution, etc), but it felt somewhat convenient to me (there's that word again!) - I guess it didn't help that the guy 'seemingly' lived around the corner from the DH. Perhaps he moved to be closer? :) Not a real problem, but the presentation of some of those scenes just took me out of the show a little.

The magic of convenience! (OK, perhaps she ‘remembered’..but again..convenient on several levels). " I haven't rewatched the episode,so I may be remembering it wrong,but didn't they explain that they gave the dolls a portion of their memories/personalities back for the "test"? So they would have the basic (at least emotional) knowledge of what they were trying to do? Sierra apparently knew the guy well before becoming a doll,and had even been there multiple times since becoming a doll, soI didn't findit farfetched that she would be ableto find her way there. 1.09 is good,but the last two episodes of the season were the absolute best for me. I adore Alan Tudyk's character! Not as happy with Echo, but not as against her as most seem to be. :) Nice review, glad to see you beginning to warm to the series. :D Just one point – you asked (or rather, didn’t ask)

Also, good review, I agree with some things, especially the part about Eliza Dushku.

She's much better in small doses (ala "Buffy" and "Angel"). I hope the second season focuses less on Eliza and more on the other cast members. Anyway, you're about to watch (unless you've already seen it) Episode 9. My favorite of the season. Hope you enjoy it and keep up the good work!

The way it was depicted made it look simultaneous, but I guess that's more to do with the montage than how it actually happened. I'm looking forward to the next episode more than I thought I would be. I just hope they build on 1.08 and don't go back to the stand-alone approach! Good point Adam.

I pretty much agree with you on everything you said. The only thing is that I don't 100% agree with is that because all of the doll's resolutions scenes were one after the other, that they all necessarily happened at the same time. The next episode is one of my favorites of the season. It really shows the potential of the show (though its not AMAZING by any means), and I think you'd like it because its not centered around Echo. Its a fun episode. Yeah. I pretty much agree with you on everything you said.
